用隐式建模提升可穿戴设备步态阶段识别精度,适应复杂地形变化。

Human Locomotion Implicit Modeling Based Real-Time Gait Phase Estimation

  • 通过时序卷积与注意力机制融合多通道IMU信号,捕捉步态动态特征。
  • 稳定地形下相位误差仅2.73%,地形变化时仍保持3.21%的高精度。
  • 适合智能外骨骼实时自适应控制,尤其在多变环境中表现优异。

基于惯性测量单元(IMU)信号的步态阶段估计有助于外骨骼精准适配个体步态差异。然而,在地形变化等场景下仍面临精度与鲁棒性挑战。为此,本文提出一种基于人类运动隐式建模的步态阶段估计神经网络,结合时序卷积提取特征与变压器层实现多通道信息融合。设计了一种通道级掩码重建预训练策略,将步态阶段状态向量与IMU信号视为人体运动的联合观测,增强模型泛化能力。实验表明,该方法在2秒回看窗口下,稳定地形条件下相位均方根误差为$2.729 \pm 1.071\%$,相位率平均绝对误差为$0.037 \pm 0.016\%$;地形转换时相位误差为$3.215 \pm 1.303\%$,相位率误差为$0.050 \pm 0.023\%$。硬件验证在髋关节外骨骼上证实,该算法能可靠识别步态周期与关键事件,适应多种连续运动场景。本研究为更智能、自适应的外骨骼系统提供支持,推动人机交互在真实环境中的安全高效应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Gait phase estimation based on inertial measurement unit (IMU) signals facilitates precise adaptation of exoskeletons to individual gait variations. However, challenges remain in achieving high accuracy and robustness, particularly during periods of terrain changes. To address this, we develop a gait phase estimation neural network based on implicit modeling of human locomotion, which combines temporal convolution for feature extraction with transformer layers for multi-channel information fusion. A channel-wise masked reconstruction pre-training strategy is proposed, which first treats gait phase state vectors and IMU signals as joint observations of human locomotion, thus enhancing model generalization. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing baseline approaches, achieving a gait phase RMSE of $2.729 \pm 1.071%$ and phase rate MAE of $0.037 \pm 0.016%$ under stable terrain conditions with a look-back window of 2 seconds, and a phase RMSE of $3.215 \pm 1.303%$ and rate MAE of $0.050 \pm 0.023%$ under terrain transitions. Hardware validation on a hip exoskeleton further confirms that the algorithm can reliably identify gait cycles and key events, adapting to various continuous motion scenarios. This research paves the way for more intelligent and adaptive exoskeleton systems, enabling safer and more efficient human-robot interaction across diverse real-world environments.
